by Anelo-Amorcan cable to the Dispatch.I
BrRLN, March 23.-The ORcial
gazette to-day published an imperial
rescupt, in which the Emperor, after
expressing his heartfelt appreciation of
the sympathetic interest shown by the

my ea1ly youth [ saw the monarchy of
my deeply afflicted father under a dire
ful visitation that tested the endurance
Of the people. | have since seen how
the devoted loyalty, eager self-sacriiice,
and undaunted courage OF my people
brought them deliverance and elevation,
and now in my old age, after the many
vicissitudes Of my life, look with pride
aud satisfaction upon the great trans
formation which the glorious events OF
the recent past, the iinperishable feeling
OF German unity. and the sincere love
OF Fatherland have effected in Ger
many. May the consummation achieved
after long yearning by our beloved
country conduce, as confidently hope
it viii, TO the eyer-increasing prosperity
Of I'll classes Of the nation living in
theundisturbed blessed labors ofpcace. "

riences of his youth and the wonder
iul help God has vouchsafed to him,
and prays that he may be able TO pre-
serve during the short remainder OF his

The Kid at the Theatre.

A child that can only sQuall.. in a
theatre is preferable to another larger
child of kind one sometimes sees. It's
generally a female child. A female
child from its earliest days recognizes
the privileges of the sex and takes all
sorts of advantages. The mothers al
ways teach them that they are "little
girls" and the little boys must not
hurt them. and some of them IN conse-
quence become terrors early In youth.
We have seen the child that wanders
all around a theatre and looks up at
you and every body with a bland, child
ish curiosity, and her thumb in her
mouth. She has no seat generally.
She's under age, and her father and
mother bring her to the theatre between
them, and she gets off in the middle of
the play and wanders about. She has
knack of being partial to sweetmeats.
She seems to know instinctively when
she strikes pair of young lovers,
and she slides up and swings herself on
one foot and then on the other, and the
fellow looks confused and the girl pats
her on the head, hoping that will drive
her away. But it dosen't. She accepts
the familiarity and gets on the girls
knee, and the young pair look furtiyely
at ona another as If to say :
"Great heavens If there should be
somebody here who knows us and think
this is ours"

Influencing n Judge.

The poet Mines had a mind of pene-
trating sagacity and brilliant intuitions.
He was one day told, by friend, of the
grief of poor laundrcss, whose little
boy had wandered off TO common near
London, and there with another Lao,
mounted an old horse grazing there ,and
taken a ride, only to be arrested for
horse-stealing. The laundress had en-
gagged counsel for her son, but was in
great doubt as to the issue of the case.
When the matter was suggested to Mil
ues, his fel tile mind was at once ready
with an. expedient.
How old are the boys p he asked,
and was told that they were about
eleven.
Then said he, tell the laundress
take care that they both appear at the
trial in nice clean pinafores.
The effect was almost magical. The
two little boys, in their nice pinafores,
appeared in the dock, and smilingly
gaZed around the court.
What is the meaning of this p asked
the Judge, who had read the deposition
and now CANT under the spell of the
pinasores.
a case of hon se-stealing, my lord
stuff and nonsense y said his honor,
with indignation. 'Horse-stealing, in
deed The boys sole ride y
The pinafores had almost an ovation
in court, and all who had anything to
do with the prosecution were obliged to
suffer from the Judges indignant CON-
ment.

living by collecting the racid butter
and dirty butter scrapings from the
butter-shops, and then retailing them
to West-end confectioners. The other

GIRLS WHO COURT BEAUTY.
How some Women Preserve their
Good Looks-Exercise Does Much.

Good Looks-Exercise Does Much.
From the San Francisco Post.
The handsomest woman / ever saw
was one who took great care of her
health. When knew her she was over
thirty, but no girl Of sixteen that hav 9
ever seen had roster cheeks or brighter
eyes. or Course she was naturally fine
looking, but the attention she gave to
matters of hygiene added to and pre-
seryed her beauty. What did she do? I
don't know that can recount all, but
I remember her telling me she took q
sponge bath every morniog; was partic
ular about the ventilation of her apart
ments: took long walks when she could !;
ate but little meat. much fruit and
ceareals; whenever she could get them.
Another thing she did which shs tried
without success to get me to do, she
drank her coffee without milk or cream,
diluted with water.
The reason she took her coffee so was
because her physicians told her 1t was
healthier to drink it in this way
Whether the practice added to her per-
sonal charms or not don't know. On
the whole she was certainly repaid for
her systematic habits. and as certainly
there was nothing arduous about the
performance Of them. Nor was there
anything bizarre about them a., it seems
to me, there is about the following &C.
count read OF Chicago belle:
ITO keep the suppleness of her figure
she stands one hour daily. fifteen min
utes at time, with her hands on hel
hips before long mirror, ,and bending
her knees out from each other she sinks
slowly down to the fDor as low as pos
sible, then as slowly upraising,
meantime moving her arms in any di.
reclion to their utmost length, out or up,
forward or back, until when she stands
erect they are ready to be placsd on her
hips again.
Each movement is repeated, every
time little accelerated, until at the end
of thirteen minutes it is done quickly,
and fine color is on her cheeh. She
then lies down on aperfectly fatcouch.
without pillow, until her breath comes
smooth and regular, as It will in the two
minutes left in her quarter of an hour.
When she plays good deal Of tennis
she cuts down her exercising one half
or course, tbe benefit to he derived
from this procedure is not to be ques
toned, whatever may be thought Of it
besides 1t is easy to see her whole
body thus receives good exercise, added
to the grace Of her own form, beautify-
ing her complexion and making her
stronger and healthier.
